Four years back 2001 I purchased the best wood carving I have ever seen It was done by a carver in Wynyard Tas
His site is WWW.wolfscraft.com (http://www.wolfscraft.com) I managed to talk him into making the workshop shown on his web page under showroom, workshop
and below

This is all out of huon pine

MeTaBo MaN Cost $400 , when he put the pics on the web he was offered $1000 and asked me if I wanted to sell as he wasn't going to make any more.
I've still got it, and no chance of selling
oges as to dust it lives in a rosewood and perspex display box I built and only comes out for special showings as the tools , parts are so small, eg box of 10 diffrent chisles each 2mm diam and 10mm long, so its kept under perspex away from grandsons hands.

Just one more question Ashore, Was that carved out of one block of wood or are they the peices carved seperate?

No he makes it all indivudaly The walls and floor are one piece but the rest are loose
All the boxes open and have leather hinges, some stuff is so small you need tweeses.
How he does it I don't know, but he does and very well
Check out his web site , see first post
